Job Description
We are seeking a Landscape Designer to contribute to residential outdoor design projects within a design-build environment, with a clear path toward client-facing and revenue-generating responsibilities over time.
This is not a back-office drafting position. It is a genuine growth opportunity for an early-career designer who wants to develop across the full project lifecycle — from initial concept and 3D presentation through field execution. You will work closely with senior designers and installation teams, gaining meaningful exposure to how high-end residential projects are designed, presented, and sold. For the right candidate, this role serves as a foundation for advancement into a Senior Designer or combined Design and Sales position.
Responsibilities
• Support the development of residential landscape concepts, layouts, and design narratives
• Assist in producing 2D plans and 3D models for client-facing presentations
• Participate in client meetings and design presentations alongside senior designers
• Incorporate client feedback and project revisions with accuracy and attention to detail
• Manage multiple active design tasks and deadlines across a concurrent project load
• Collaborate with installation teams in the field to ensure faithful execution of design intent
• Develop familiarity with the design-build sales process and how projects are positioned and closed
• Contribute to growing design output capacity and supporting overall project backlog
• Maintain well-organized project files, drawings, and documentation throughout each engagement
Requirements:
• 0–3 years of experience in landscape design, landscape architecture, or a closely related field
• Degree or formal training in landscape architecture, design, or a comparable discipline preferred
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD, SketchUp, or similar design software
• Interest or foundational exposure to 3D modeling and client presentation development
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a genuine willingness to engage with clients
• Ability to manage competing priorities effectively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
• Demonstrated interest in developing client-facing and consultative sales skills over time
• Prior exposure to residential design-build environments preferred
Benefits:
• Competitive salary commensurate with experience
• Health insurance and benefits package
• Retirement plan options
• Paid time off
• Defined growth path toward a Senior Designer or combined Design and Sales role
• Hands-on exposure to high-end residential projects and client relationships from day one
